If you haven’t read #AFlashOfNeon yet by @sophiecameron.bsky.social you are really missing out! It made me think about the magic of storytelling in a completely different way. Buy it!! #ukkidlit #kidlituk

Writers! Note that AI translation (under the guise of "global access") is being seen/used as the weak point to get AI into publishing (possible bc Eng lang publishing is weak on translation). Stand with translators & for more human translation, fairly paid!

OMG an escape from the Realm @sophiecameron.bsky.social, A Flash Of Neon *is* a true story after all 😅

Ha, this is brilliant!

Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has

One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over £8bn annually, the *videogames industry* is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.

I work for Scottish Book Trust and we’re running a survey for parents/teachers/kids book enthusiasts about how they find books for kids. I’d be enormously grateful if anyone can spare 5-10 mins to share their thoughts. #KidLitUK

i dont want to be a killjoy but we desperately need to make it socially unacceptable to talk about asking chatgpt things in regular conversation

There’s so much to enjoy in #AFlashOfNeon, an engaging contemporary fantasy novel by @sophiecameron.bsky.social published by @littletigeruk.bsky.social for readers of 10-14.

A Flash of Neon is a great, imaginative teen #KidLitUK. Yesterday this post went live on TeenLibrarian to coincide w/ publication but I need to share it here! Thanks @littletisophiecameron.bsky for sending a copy & organising a q&a w/ @sophiecameron.bsky.social teenlibrarian.co.uk/2025/05/01/a...

From the award-winning author of AWAY WITH WORDS, @sophiecameron.bsky.social, comes a fantastical story about imagination and friendship, perfect for teen readers!

I'm going to quote post this again because I still see teachers enthusing about AI. Please don't ignore the environmental damage even if you're okay with the theft of copyright. ⬇️

The internet keeps showing me these ads saying "we're looking for millennials who haven't exercised in YEARS" and I feel very called out

In honour of Hayao Miyazaki I've implemented the biggest update to the GenAI mute/block list in a few months. Clear your feed.

Let me know of any missed accounts and any false positive I might have swept up. I'm not perfect and happy to review mistakes.

Stunned to see that my debut Out of the Blue is on Kirkus's list of the Best Teen & YA Books of the 21st Century (So Far)! What a huge compliment to be featured alongside incredible books like A Monster Calls, Last Night at the Telegraph Club, and many others www.kirkusreviews.com/young-adult/...

This is such a sad loss – a phenomenal writer and by all accounts a wonderful person. Thinking of all of Alex's family and friends
